What a difference a year makes!!! Vettel doesn't even make it into Q3!!! WTF!!!

Absolutely amazing racing. especially in the last few laps , and so great to see so many manufacturers near the front, and so many new drivers mixing it with the world champions.

What an awesome race. Looked like Spec Miata! Some of the best wheel to wheel racing in F1 in many years. Last few laps, P2-P10 could have been covered with a blanket. Kimi went form P2 to P10 in 2 laps!!!

So very happy for Nico (Finally!), disappointed for Schumi (not a Schumi fan), thrilled for MB (huge achievement and could have been top 4 but for Schumi's wheel nut). And all so close in terms of the championship

Great race! My 7yr old and I were glued to it when 3rd through 10th were swamping spots every turn.

Oh yeah... This was the best wheel-to-wheel F1 racing in decades!

I stopped watching F1 because of the "parade" of cars and the lack of a lot of "racing". What a change this was...one of the best races I have EVER seen!

It's particularly satisfying to see Ferrari so far off pace...

Best dry race in years. Lots of grins from the drivers after that race. Button should keep his chin up and probably not mention that he hit his pit marks when his crew goofed. He did a fine job and should just let Whitmarsh handle it.

Props to Webber for getting past Vettel in time.
